Show some love for Sears

I was reading a post about Sears taking care of it's military reserve employees. It was one of those chain email types and I had my doubts. But it is accurate and Sears just earned a little more of my business. Seems that if an employee is called up for duty, Sears will cover any shortfall in pay and continue all their benefits for two years.

Went to snopes.com to verify...

I have shopped from time to time at Sears and can not say I loved it. Can't say I hated it. It seems to be so completely uneventful that I hardly ever even think about going there. They definitely moved up on list of stores to shop at.

I will also express to the employees I come across there that I am shopping there because of their policies. In this day and age of cut throat/profit rules, it is nice to see good American companies taking care of employees.

On a side note, I wonder if Sear's sales would improve if they went back to sending out their big catalogs again. I know in this day in age where everything is online, sometimes having that paper catalog is the best method of finding things.
